Chic Comfort: How to Style Pajama Pants Outside the House
Believe it or not, pajama pants have found their way outside of the house. Ditch the slippers and hit the town.
Gone are the days of pajamas being socially unacceptable and seen as disrespectful in public spaces. We've seen a revolution of pajama pants in everyday streetwear. Whether it be your favorite celebrity like Zendaya or Selena Gomez, or one of Instagram's trendiest influencers, pajama pants are bringing a chic and lazy look to this summer's closet picks. Although any kind of pajama pants are fair game, striped pajama pants have been one of particular interest and popularity. Styling with sweaters or baby tee's, pajama pants are easy and breezy. It's all about embracing comfort while looking effortlessly chic.
If you're feeling a bit hesitant about rocking this trend, no worries. There are plenty of ways to style pajama pants to create a fashionable and put-together look. L'OFFICIEL has got you covered with our curated list of stylish outfit ideas. From pairing them with cozy sweaters to rocking them with cute baby tees, there are endless possibilities to explore.
Breezy Beach Stripes
Striped pajamas really are perfect for crafting a breezy, stylish summer outfit. Since pajama pants are usually made from lightweight materials like cotton or silk, they're ideal for staying cool and comfortable during hot weather. You can pair them with a simple tank top or a breezy blouse to keep the vibe casual yet chic.
For footwear, consider slip-on loafers or sandals to maintain that effortless look. Don't forget to accessorize with some minimalist jewelry or a wide-brimmed hat to protect from the sun while adding an extra touch of style. This way, you can take your striped pajamas from a cozy sleepwear option to a fashionable statement suitable for a day out.
The Boxer Short
Boxer shorts have also come into play when styling attire normally meant for bedtime. Either buy a set of fun patterned men's boxers or steal some from your significant other. Styling it can be super simple. Go for a more athleisure look with a sporty oversized white tee to keep it dressed down and loose, or grab your favorite leather jacket and mini purse to add some flair. The boxy silhouette is perfect if you're looking for a more breathable option this summer. To further enhance this look, you might consider pairing the boxers with high-top sneakers or Adidas Sambas for a bit of an edge. Layering with a denim shirt can also add a touch of rugged sophistication, making the outfit versatile for both a day out or a casual evening.
Cozy Layers
Take it from stylist and Instagram icon Pernille Teisbaek: Pajamas are totally acceptable as streetwear. For cooler months, go for layers and add a long trench coat to the patterned pajama pants, and even throw in the matching top. Multiple layers can add dimension and flair to your outfit. The pajama set paired with a wool trench coat offers a mix of softness and structure. Accessories like a bold bag, statement sunglasses, or stylish sneakers can also help bridge the gap between comfort and fashion, making the ensemble street-ready and fashionable.
The Matching Set
Buy that silk matching pajama set and pair it with your favorite flats or heels and get your matcha for the day. A cohesive and put-together look doesn't always mean a tailored suit or jeans, it can be as comfy as pajamas. Whether it be a fun, colorful pair of flats or more of a red-carpet moment like Sarah Jessica Parker, don't be afraid to dress it up with stilettos. A matching pajama set paired with the right footwear can create a stunning and comfortable look.
